a beauty Alan, very nicely taken. Could it benefit from a little more sharpening or is it my eyes?

Fantastic image and I agree with matt about the sharpening. Don't think I have seen a flight piccy of these birds before.

Alan that's good as matt says maybe a tad more sharpeing on the head.

Much better Alan, could even handle a touch more I think. It really is a cracking image.

Hi Alan,

Is there maybe a hint of motion blur? Still better than any of my shoveler images though! :toast:

Cracking flight image. I agree you could push the sharpening a tad more but the silkiness of the beak might make it look softer than it is. :wavey:
